That's too bad about the cup, Suzi. I know I have been able to find china specific glue under similar circumstances, and used it successfully, though I don't remember what it was called. Got it from the hardware store, I'm pretty sure, probably asked someone there what to look for.
le nubian, that is not me being civilized, that is me thinking the kitchen counter is too high to stand and eat at so I need my food more portable than a crock pot. And knowing that I have a vast surplus of coffee mugs.
I'll hit up Ace Hardware tomorrow and see what they recommend. I have a facial a few storefronts down from them tomorrow.
I am talky meat today. Dang.
Thought I heard someone knocking on the front door, so I booted up and got out there only to discover it was the sound of the crock pot burbling and making the lid chatter. Found a nice big mug and now I have dinner. Plus I got the garbage out while I was out there.
My favorite Book Emergency story happened when a coworker got stuck in the elevator at work (i.e., in the library) for half an hour. Unfortunately, she only had 2 books with her, and they were both juvenile nonfiction books about baseball, and she hates sports.
Ooh, that is extra painful. Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink. [hugging kindle tight]
In onerous task news, I spent 2+ hours on tech support trying to get my new wireless router to connect to the Internet. Th tech support guy kept having me connect directly to the cable modem to see if it was a problem with that. Nope. We'd try 15 minutes of other things and then he'd have me check the modem again. Nope, it's still fine. Over and over. Finally he admitted defeat and said I'd have to turn it in for a replacement. I plugged my old, cranky router that balked at YouTube videos in and zoom--it's sending vids to the Chromecast and everything. So I'm sending the new router back for a refund instead. It's like two hours of irritation netted me ~$160. I've decided to call it a win.
Way to go, Suzi! And Calli! $80/hr for Being Irritated is not a bad rate.
You know, I am hardly ever in elevators anymore. I probably could make sure I always have my kindle with me when I am with a little bit of forethought.
Congrats SuziQ on getting recognition from higher ups!
And yes, -t, thanks. I wish I could charge all irritants that much.
You guys! I just got the invite to my dad's law school graduation! I HAVE SO MANY ALLERGIES!!
(Recap: Dad decided at 70 that he didn't see any reason to go to his job any more but retiring would be boring, so he decided to live his Kennedy-era dream of becoming a civil rights lawyer instead. He's disturbingly knowledgable in recent North Carolina politics for a Manhattanite...)
SO MANY ALLERGIES
Aw, amych, that's awesome! Congratulations to him!
Suzi, do you have the recipe for that chicken? It sounds delicious.
